Answer 4

It really depends on the car. Some are a pain in the rear, like on a chevy corsica because you need to remove the front engine mount to remove the belt

Answer 5

It's not hard at all,you just need to be careful.when your doing it.If you look on the bottom side of the hood or on top of the radiator cover you should see a diagram that will show you how to put it on.If you did have a new belt then go to the auto parts sore and tell them what you are working ong and that you need a belt for it .I believe you have a 3.0L engineI,m not sure if yours have a spring loaded pulley are not ,but you should 'nt need nothing but a wrench something like a 14mm or 15 mmif it's not one of them you will need a 3/8 '' ratchet to fit in the hole on the tenioner.You can do it ,just take your time and watch what you are doing.
